What is a bike trip without a story to tell. Unfortunately this one isn't funny. I got into an accident on my bike just a mile away from my final destination of my parents house just outside of Chicago. As you can see I managed to squish the bike pretty good. You can see the missing lights, the broken head light, the crash bar that bent back (that's 1/4 inch steel that bent!) After talking to insurance and all that fun stuff I borrowed my parents car and trailer and towed the bike back to Atlanta to drop it off at Atlanta HD. (the first time it has been on a trailer in since it was purchased from Harley 32 thousand miles ago... ugg.)
